1
2And when he had come out of the boat, there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
3who lived among the tombs; and no one could bind him any more, even with a chain;
4for he had often been bound with fetters and chains, but the chains he wrenched apart, and the fetters he broke in pieces; and no one had the strength to subdue him.
5Night and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was always crying out, and bruising himself with stones.
6And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshiped him;
7 asked him, “What is your name?” He replied, “My name is Legion; for we are many.”
10And he begged him eagerly not to send them out of the country.
11Now a great herd of swine was feeding there on the hillside;
12and they begged him, “Send us to the swine, let us enter them.”
13So he gave them leave. And the unclean spirits came out, and entered the swine; and the herd, numbering about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and were drowned in the sea.
14The herdsmen fled, and told it in the city and in the country. And people came to see what it was that had happened.
15And they came to Jesus, and saw the demoniac sitting there, clothed and in his right mind, the man who had the legion; and they were afraid.
16And those who had seen it told what had happened to the demoniac and to the swine.
17And they began to beg Jesus to depart from their neighborhood.
18And as he was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed with demons begged him that he might be with him.
19But he refused, and said to him, “Go home to your friends, and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.”
20 what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not fear, only believe.”
37Mk 9.2; 13.3. And he allowed no one to follow him except Peter and James and John the brother of James.
38When they came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, he saw a tumult, and people weeping and wailing loudly.
39And when he had entered, he said to them, “Why do you make a tumult and weep? The child is not dead but sleeping.”
40And they laughed at him. But he put them all outside, and took the child's father and mother and those who were with him, and went in where the child was.
41Lk 7.14; Acts 9.40. Taking her by the hand he said to her, “Talitha cumi”; which means, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.”
42And immediately the girl got up and walked (she was twelve years of age), and they were immediately overcome with amazement.
43Mk 1.43-44; 7.36. And he strictly charged them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat.
